发明名称 Gaming device network
摘要 A method and apparatus for establishing a data network between gaming devices is disclosed. In one embodiment a wireless communication system facilitates communication between gaming devices or communication between gaming devices and a server or central site. Wireless communication overcomes the drawbacks associated with wired networks that occur when the gaming devices are moved from one location to another by individuals not trained as computer network technicians. In one configuration the wireless network adopts a packet based communication protocol with transmit and receive processing layers. To achieve improved communication performance and reliability the transmitter may operate at about 2.4 GHz transmit frequency and adopt FSK type coding. In one embodiment a concentrator connects via a wireless or hardwired connection to a main server or hardwired LAN to thereby serve as a main hub to facilitate communication between a plurality of gaming devices and the server.
